Paul Pogba: Youngster is targeting more first-team action for the Red Devils

Manchester United youngster Paul Pogba is targeting regular first-team action with the Premier League champions.

The promising French midfielder made his United debut this season and has featured in all three of their Carling Cup games.

Pogba, 18, has relished his cup appearances and wants to play more under Sir Alex Ferguson before the end of the season.

The former Le Havre youngster believes he has grown a lot during his time at Old Trafford and aims to keep developing.

First team

"It's very good [here]," he told the club's official website. "I'm getting in the first team and I enjoy it a lot. I have to carry on and try to play more games.

"[My debut at] Leeds was a great feeling. I played away, in a derby as well, and came on for Ryan Giggs. I thought: 'Okay, now is a good chance to prove myself and to show them what I can do'. We won that game and it was a very good feeling.

"I told myself I've just tasted it, now I want to eat it - I want all the cake now! I want to play, work hard and do my best to get in the first-team squad.

"I think you grow up a lot at United. I came from France. I'm here and I know what I want to do. I just want to be a first-team player, a great player here and that's it. I want to play with the first team."
